The minute I scrolled to this outfit on Instagram, my interest was piqued, and I immediately saved the unexpected look in my "style inspiration" folder. Not only was the outfit from a stylish French woman, Laura Vidrequin Roso, but it also featured two of this summer's controversial trends—lace-trimmed shorts and jelly flats. Silky slip skirts with lace hems continue to hold a space in many people's closets, but a hesitancy often comes in making the jump to a lacy shorts style, especially as an everyday look. Jelly flats and sandals continue to be divisive as well, with fashion people either embracing the fun nostalgia or turning their noses up at the playful options.
All I can say is that I found the unpredictable outfit combo incredibly chic thanks to Vidrequin Roso's effortless French touch. The addition of classic Wayfarers, a slouchy gray sweater, and a simple woven summer bag helped to ground the polarizing lace-trim shorts and jelly shoes. I anticipate more and more fashion people adopting the mix this season. Keep scrolling to see how to get the cool French outfit idea and shop my roundup of chic shorts and shoe options worth considering.
